928 performance mods

I have 2 928s a GTS which I gave away to a family member and my first porsche ever which I will never sell a 1987 Indian Red S4. However the S4 isn't really quite with the gts on speed what kind of mods can I do to get more power without supercharging. Help I keep getting beat by 2.5 Z4s and SLKs

You should try a x-pipe and a RMB. It would increase the exhaust note, shed a few lbs, and give you a few more hp. I am not sure of the pricing any more, I am thinking you could do it for around $500. Good luck

A performance chip will give you a big jump in power performance, in conjunction with the exhaust mods suggested by Red Garnet will give you a better performing car then the GTS. You can often find the chips on e-bay for around $100. If possible, get the genuine autothority chips. Good Luck.

Do a search for Jager Engineering Inc. They make interior trim kits and interior LED lighting kits for 928's.

For more 928 performance mods check out 928motorsports.com. They got some pretty cool stuff for 928's.

For custom 928 interior & restoration search for:
Design Paul Champagne Porsche Leatherworks

Hope this helps, have fun with your shark.

I'm in the same "u-boat" as you. My first Porsche which I still have and will never sell is a 1986.5 Indian Red S3. Still stock and been in the family for over 16 years.

These cars are not loved by many but for a select few like us are understood and admired.

I haven't seen the CF trim kits in person only in pictures. From what I've seen they don't look too authentic but I could be wrong.

My interior is still in good shape, besides I need to spend that on preventive maintenance & keeping my porsche mechanic in business . But if I were to redo my entire black interior I would choose Paul Champagne black leather with french seams and red stitching throughout.

With a 928 Sport (930) steering wheel from 928 Specialists, black leather short shift boot from Jager & automatic sport shifter (Heaney Sports Shifter) from 928 motorsports. All of them redone by Paul Champagne in his leather & stitching. All of this if you're not too concerned with keeping it stock.

And personally I wouldn't use the trim kits but if I had to I would probably just go with 'piano black' & add alcantera inserts (instead of leather) to the seats, door panels, center armrest, headliner, steering wheel & shifter...oh mama the list of mods can add up . Anyway, let me see if I can find some pics to show you what I mean. Here you go Sty3x:

That last picture you show which is a stick shift, what kind of car is that

I agree, Paul does great interior work
